A BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE.

Sim Coys recent trip to Washington is
bearing fruit. Senator Voorhees, and Judge
Montgomery, of that city, rendered their
services to assist in tie defense of the tally
sheet forgers. We like this. 1t is strictly in
accordance with the eternal fitness of things.
Senator Voorhees, needs personal intro
duction. AS Democrat he indorses every
thing done by or for the party. He is already
on record as wnitewashing the defendants in
the present suit, and denouncing their
prosecution as an outrage. AS the crime
with which they stand indicted was done in
the interest of the party, it is proper, natural
and right that Senator Voorhees,, with his
views of politics in general and of this trans
action in particular, should volunteer in
defense of the Coy gang. Mr.. Voorhees, has
some reputation as criminal lawyer. and
during his service in the Senate has very
often absented himself to defend criminals in
different parts of the country. There is
eminent fitness in his leaving his post of
duty to assist in the defense of persons
charged with perpetrating, in the interest of
fragrant election frauds ever done in Indiana.
His salary as Senator will run right along,
and if the gang cannot afford to pay him
big fee he will get his reward in
undying gratitude and devotion. Judge
Montgomery the other Democratic statesman
who has volunteered his services is a judge
Of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia, having been appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland. He is relative of of
the defendants. We are not informed whether
his court will be in session when the case is
called for trial here or not, but if so he can
excuse himself from his duties there. His
salary, like that of Senator Voorhees,, will run
right along, and he can afford to come and
work for his expenses. The spectacle of
these two Democratic government officials
leaving their posts of duty and volunteering
to come here and assist in the defense in the
case will be highly edifying to the people of
the whole country. To the people of
Indiana it will be notice that the Demo
cratic party, in so far as two high officials are
able to speak for it, assumes and fathers the
boldest crime of the kind ever perpetrated in
the State-the Marion county tally-sheet

THE Senate Republicans are not rejecting
any credit upon themselves in obstructing
the plans of the executive. Wash ington
Special
Would the correspondent be kind enough
to inform us what are the plans of the execu-
tive that the wicked Republicans are inter
fering with by not confirming Mr.. Lamar, to
which this extract refersY The only plans
that have so far developed seem to be to
shelve a pet in life Office, and to transfer
two practical politicians" to places in the
Cabinet, where they can do the most good
for the personal benefit of the President and
themselves To say nothing of the unftness
of Mr. Lamar for the Office of supreme
judge there is unseemly bit of political
chicane in the shift and shuttle, and the
unseemliness is added to by the effort to force
the confirmation of Mr.. Lamar without proper
inquiry into his fitness and qualifications for
the highest and most responsible position it is
possible to confer upon any one. IF there are
any ':plans' for the public good that re being
interfered with we should be glad to know
what they are, but if the only plans those
of mere partisan and personal politics. the
Republicans of the Senate can we'll afford to
let the persons most interested stew in their
own juice for while yet.

THE coal-dealers who complain of the ordi-
nance which allows their weights and meas
urements to be tested by city authorities, and
declare that there is no more reason why they
should be held up on the street and accused of
giving short weights than the grocer who
sends out load of sugars and cofees, make
a poor argument and give a very unfavorable
impression in regard to their honesty. There
is an ordinance relating to measurements I'M
der which market men and street peddlers are
frequently arrested. It may be made to ap-
ply to grocers also, but the patrons of estab-
lished dealers IN groceries have the matter in
their own hands. The individual purchaser
can ascertain for himself whether a package
of sugar is good weight bushel of pota-
toes full measure, and if not, he can transfer
his custom to other dealers. With coal
it is. a very different matter. Comparatively
few citizens keep hay scales on their prem
ises, or 90 to the yards to the fuel loaded

BENNETT BUELE1GH, in the Contemporary

BENNETT BUELEIGH, in the Contemporary
Review, writes:
'There is no gainsaying the existence, rich
and potent as the empire we claim citizen
ship in is, of widespread privation among the
working classes of Great Britain. This dis
tress' has also now become aggravated,
constant quantity in midst. To-day men,
women and children by hundreds of thou
sands. miserably half clad, have to face the
chill English winter upon US, hibernat-
ing as best they in dark. frowsy abodes,
from which they but emerge to plead fos
bread"
England is a free-trade country, and free
traders say that wages there are higher than
anywhere else in Europe. However that may
be. there is no place where there is more alb
ject poverty and distress among the working
classes than in England. To make any COM
parison between the condition of the working
men in England and the workingmen of the
United States is to compare hell with heaven.

SHE movement In favor of the establish
ment of high-schools in villages and townships,
which has some advocates in the State Teach
ers' Association, is another development of the
tendency among educators to further elabo-
rate our already ornate school system. They
have, however, some weight of argument on
their side: for if high-school is good thing
in towns it is equally good and desirable in
townships, and if the people are willing to
pay for it they ought to have it. The people
OF the country districts should, however, be
informed that high-schools are not regarded
as unmixed blessings by many persons IA
miliar with their workings, and before hasten
ing to burden themselves with these expen-
sive institutions, they should consider the
matter in all its bearings If they decide that
a fund can be raised sufficient to keep the
lower grades up to the standard, and main
tain the high-school in addition, then one of
the objections to the latter is removed. If the
primary classes must be deprived of atten-
ton and privileges in order that these may be
lavished on the highschool, then the latter
should be dispensed with. If foreign Ian
guages and various Accomplishments" are to
be taught at great cost and at the expense of
pupils in the lower grades, the high school as
an improvement should be postponed until
public finances will permit equal attention to
all. In short, if the high-school in the coun-
try is to be, as it is in most cities a burden
from which tax payers do not derive adequate
benefit, if it is to be sort of educational mon
ster crushing the life from the public schools
proper, then the people do not want it. The
next thing after finding out that they have
money enough, is to determine what kind of
a "high" school they to have.
